Wizards GMAT looking for advice 

Post#1 » by Timmaytime » Sat Feb 22, 2014 10:24 pm

Pistons fan here, running the Wizards in a GMAT.

Just thought i'd ask actual Wizards fans what this team needs and wants..

Beal is already traded as well as Porter and Andre Miller..

Any advice would be great!

My GMAT score was pretty underwhelming, but I still got into a decent program at Fordham.

Get anything in return? I'd say the team needs perimeter players and a backup PG now. Oh, they also need a couple of young, rebounding, defense playing bigs.

Got Rodney Stuckey, Jeremy Lamb, Steven Adams, 2016 OKC first and opened up cap space

More of a pass first PG to back up Wall, and another big. No Beal/Porter means starting all over finding the 2nd and 3rd of the Big-3 (not that they were that far along with that) and i don't see Lamb being that either. Consolidate what you have, into more of an alpha wing player, maybe Ariza, Stuckey, OKC first for the best two-way SF you can get and a 2nd, or Lamb, Stuckey, OKC first for the best two-way SG you can get. Even with Adams, moving Nene's fat contract and upgrading from Singleton and Booker or Seraph (I'd move the latter) should be a priority.

Definitely planning on turning exprings/Lamb into Talent, and my main focus so far has been moving Nene.. It's admittedly very hard..

You turned Beal, Porter and Miller into Steven Adams, Lamb and Stuckey?

Sounds like you need a miracle more than advice.

Kaplan and Princeton Review are sort of scams. Either just study on your own or get a tutor.

Maybe I'm an idiot, but I found the GMAT to be rather difficult. It was almost as difficult as the CPA exams, and certainly harder than the Certified Internal Auditor exams. In fact, the GMAT was worse than many of my MBA classes. Maybe I should have studied harder for it, but that's beside the point.

You're taking the GMAT with a value scale like that? How does Beal, Porter, and Miller become Lamb, Adams, Stuckey, and a late first?
